The Beatles made their one and only tour of Australia in 1964, at the height of Beatlemania.

The band was doing two performances a night, six days a week, and John Lennon was wearing this suit made by a London tailor D.A.(Dougie) Millings.

When The Beatles were discovered in Liverpool, they wore the leather jackets of 1950s rockers. But by the mid 1960s, manager Brian Epstein had revamped their image, helping the band to walk the fine line between respectability and rebelliousness.

RN Drive was joined by curator Peter Cox to discuss hysteria that surrounded the Beatles tour of Australia, as well as what this suit reveals about the way in which The Beatles were managed and marketed.
